Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this comparison
Which is better for monitoring multiple children or rooms?
The Dr.Care VistaView Lite is better, as it includes two cameras and a 4” 720P split screen to view both simultaneously. The VTech VM901 features a single 1080p camera, though it has remote pan-tilt-zoom for wider single-room coverage.

Which monitor provides better overall room coverage and control?
The VTech VM901 offers superior control with its remote pan, tilt, and zoom features, covering the entire room from a single 1080p camera. The Dr.Care VistaView Lite comes with two cameras, which can cover two distinct areas, but lacks remote PTZ on each.
